Will you Bet on Trump

For establishment Republicans, Donald
Trump is an enigma. He is the uninvited guest who crashed the block
party. The establishment doesn’t want him, doesn’t like him, and don’t
know how to get rid of him.
Yet Trump remains, with the appeal of a populist. He has staying power.

To some conservatives, independents, and Democrats leaning
Republican, Trump is that older, fearless and courageous big brother who
has come to save the day. He is the one guy we know has our back. In
our hearts, we know he will get the job done.

Or so we hope.

An open seat on the Supreme Court has to be filled, raising the
stakes for both political parties. Within the GOP, a desperate battle is
being waged. The prize: outright control of the party and its platform.
What makes Trump such a hot commodity, the darling of corporate media who salivate to get Trump on their networks?

He is a flamboyant, arrogant, glitzy,
political-correctness-be-damned, real-estate billionaire who is not
indebted to any big money donor. And his supporters like that.
Trump attracts crowds, big crowds. And where there are crowds, there
is media interest. Trump is also controversial. Very controversial.
His life’s story has been played out in the public eye for decades.
It includes his real-estate empire, his casinos, his books, his legal
battles, his marriages, his divorces and his reality TV shows.

With a stalled economy and an anti-American administration,
conservatives feel a sense of urgency. They are prepared to throw
caution to the wind, especially when it comes to Donald Trump.
They want a leader. Better yet, a savior to lead the country out of decline.
Since the rise of the “silent majority,” a phrase coined by President
Richard Nixon in November, 1969, the Christian conservatives like BlakPac.gop and the right-wing
of the party have come to understand the power they have in their
numbers.
The GOP leadership was content to have their support, but once the
elections were over, these good citizens were expected to return to
their country homes and middle class lives and remain quiet and content
until they were needed for the next major election.

Unable to ignore them, political strategist Karl Rove courted this
group for George W. Bush’s campaign, but they were not expected, nor
needed, to make policy or give input to the elites who ran the party.
Having flexed their political power and influence, the silent
majority wanted more and demanded a seat at the table. They wanted in on
the decision-making end of policy.
This uneasy alliance laid the groundwork for future party infighting.
Though they worked together, animosity and discontentment continued to
simmer beneath the surface.

The schism between conservatives and
their establishment leadership has grown with the birth of the more
controversial and conservative backed tea party (Taxed Enough Already)
movement.
Americans are tired of political insiders who play by their own rules
and reap the benefits of them. They are tired of being taken for
granted by their party leaders and repeatedly lied to.
Promises have been made, many of them broken. The base will no longer forgive their leaders for this.
The disdain establishment Republicans have for their
base—mostly conservatives—has grown obvious. The war for the heart and
soul of the party is on.
Paradoxically, conservatives flock to Trump because they are tired of
leaders who compromise and make back-room deals with Democrats in
disregard of their core beliefs. Yet, Trump is the man best known for
making deals.

Republican leaders have routinely ignored their conservative base
because in their minds, it has been undecided and independent voters
they need to win over.
To their surprise, and dismay, Trump has wooed the conservative base
out from under them. He has soared to the top of the leaderboard where
he stubbornly remains.
His promises of restoring America to greatness have galvanized
conservatives and independents. It is a populist theme that has been
welcomed by those dissatisfied with the status quo.
At every rally and televised debate, with apparent conviction, he promises to make America great again.
How he will govern if he wins the White House? Who knows? During the
debates, he said that he believes he is a conservative. But hold the
presses: If you are something, you do not have to guess what it is.
In the Bahá’ís, Hebrew, Islamic and Christian faiths, practicing
members show their beliefs by living the life and walking the walk, and
wholly accepting the doctrine. You are either one of them, or not.

Political philosophies are no
different. No one has to ponder what he or she is; the political path
you walk clearly defines you.
Trump doesn’t know what he is, nor does anyone else. So what would a
Trump presidency be? What would be his core beliefs and policies? Not
knowing what it means to be a conservative, he cannot instinctively make
the deals or push legislation that conservatives will readily agree
with.
If Trump wins, it will not be long before conservatives revolt and turn their ire on him.
Why do Trump’s conservatives support a man they know may not be a
true conservative, when placing a true conservative in the oval office
has been their dream?
In short, this is what they know and fear: The people currently
running the country are socialists, communists and left-wing radicals.
They are making a mess of our economy and are destroying our
institutions, traditions and national prestige.
Acutely aware of this, most Americans believe that it will take a
radical to defeat a radical. The Donald is not a true conservative, but
he is a radical, if an an unscripted and uncontrollable free radical.
In his supporter’s eyes, Trump is a patriot. For them, a patriot is the next best thing to a true conservative.
Still, there are risks to putting power in the hands of a man who has
no conservative compass to guide him. How a Trump presidency would
repay the hopes and promise and goodwill invested in it is the question.
Trump’s conservative supporters are gambling with this man. Whether that gamble will pay, only time will tell.
